This project presents the applications of Internet of Things (IoT) as instrumentations to automate traditional Aquaponics environment. Conflict, climate shocks, and economic downturns have caused acute hunger among 135 million people worldwide in 2019. Presently, Malaysia, during COVID19 pandemic, faces a significant amount of demand for food production. Research has shown that Aquaponics can help to solve this problem by increasing efficiencies in conventional farming and consequently, increasing food production to the local community in Malaysia. However, extensive and arduous labours have made Aquaponics be costly disadvantageous. Especially for small farmers and hobbyists, the situation is hence making it to be inaccessible to specific group or individuals. This study aims to provide automation to the Aquaponics environment by developing an IoT based prototype to monitor and gather parameter data involving water level, humidity level and temperature in the Aquaponics’ ecology, hence integrating IoT Framework into Aquaponics. The project was observed to be a good solution to Aquaponics farmers and hobbyist because it consumed lower water consumption as showcased further in the testing and implementation section. Although, this project could be improved to include Machine Learning integration to determine the health of the plant and fish, so that further treatment can be executed. This project will serve a significant impact on the local community, especially during this pandemic outbreak where food production is significantly demanded. Also, the yield from Aquaponics is unquestionably nutritious. Hence, health enthusiasts will surely benefit from this project.
